Well, after a period of denial, I finally did it.
I measured again.
It's a tricky thing, becuase I wasn't as faithful at the end as I wanted to be to the hot yoga, and hot yoga is pre-destined to help you un-blimp (I mean, think about it: twisting out all of your water weight every single day? How COULDN'T you lose inches?!) but I was very naughty and didn't take the complete advantage of my situation as I wanted to.
I can't explain this, other than human fear and laziness. Although all I want in this frigid winter is to be warm and sweaty, I also LOOOOVE being at home. Any excuse to sleep in, or "work out" (meaning I don't when I intend to) without leaving the house is spectacular. And I hate myself for it, but I can't help it.
Why? Why is it so difficult to just go to the gym when I have the means?
No clue, but either way, these results are based off of little work out time in the few days since the Modo pass ended and slightly before. I feel a definite physical difference everywhere, especially in my arms, but I will say that I feel much "puffier" than I would have had I posted this earlier. I think the hot yoga did AMAZING things for my body and especially my stamina, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested.
Also, keep in mind: my diet hasn't changed that much since I started. I still have my wine and cigarettes, still eat meat and cheese and bread, etc. Had I done a total diet makeover as I began the yoga, the results would have been much more drastic - but that's the point, right? I want to know how much activity influences my size, and to try to balance the two. The diet is next on the list, because I know that overindulgence doesn't actually satisfy me, and that it isn't working towards my goals - but I DO NOT want to be an ascetic. So, I have to find an equilibrium and that's what I'm after.
Here are the measurements after two months:
Arms: 12"
Waist: 40"
Ass: 47"
Thighs: 26"
So, according to measurements: I lost one inch in the arms, almost two inches in the waist, and nothing in the legs. In terms of how my clothes fit, I find this off - my pants (especially legs) feel MUCH roomier than the measurements would suggest - but I suppose the tape measure doesn't lie.
Either way, I LOVED my two months of yoga and am actually scrambling to find a way to replace it. I'm considering purchasing an Xbox-One with Kinnect - does anyone have thoughts on this? Any advice would be great!
